Conversations with Jenna

As I was lying down with her in bed last night going through her 'sight words':

Me: What does a-s spell?Jenna: A-S....(big eyes) That's a bad word.Me: No it's not. What's it spell?Jenna: Ass is a bad word mom.Me: hahahaha! It spells "azz."Jenna: Well, ass really isn't a bad word. But we call asses 'donkeys.' Why is ass a bad word?Me: Well, it's just not nice to call someone an 'ass.'Jenna: Why are stupid, heck, and shit bad words?Me: (laughing) 'stupid' and 'heck' really aren't bad words--they're just not nice to say. 'Shit' IS a bad word, but I don't know why. Somehow, over time, it just became a bad word.Jenna: Can I say 'heck'?Me: yeah, you can say 'heck.' But not 'shit.'

About Me

My name is Stephanie, but you may call me "stewbie."
I live in the thriving metropolis of Houston, Tx., and from my loins have sprung two beautiful baby girls--Jenna and Claire.
I'm not mean, but I am horribly sarcastic. I consider it a gift.
I work full-time as Social Media expert/Digital Marketing director, edit on the side, and am usually at the gym or the theatre--pick one.
Although I have a BA and MLA in Literature, I still use serial commas and sometimes, I use the semicolon incorrectly.
Oh, and I also have a hairless cat. His name is "Tito."
